Marine betta - Reef-Geeks

hotshotdevil32 · Is back with a vengeance!

Does anyone have any experience with marine betta's, I have some questions about them.

Clownfish Sushi · Big-Geek

people avoid them. i'm assuming they are extremely agressive and will eat clams, snails and most peaceful fish.

Sneezy · Big-Geek

I have heard mixed reviews on them and I choose to steer clear of them.

rgrking · Spawning

apparently they are hard to keep too

Marine Betta

estanoche · I <3 the LEFT COAST!

I read an article on breeding them and how nice they are in reef tanks (except for the eating your tankmates issue) in an old issue of coral magazine - This one -

SEA SQUIRTS
Volume 6 Number 4
July/August 2009

* Breeding the Comet (Marine Betta)
* The Reefs of Oman
* Australian Lord Corals (Acanthastrea)

Anyhow - Never known anyone to keep them, but this article was really in depth - if you find anyone with this issue or the online subscription its worth the read!

You can also search for Comet - that apparently is their common name in some circles.

But... none of you have actually kept a marine betta?

Sneezy · Big-Geek

I haven't but I have a local Thai restaurant and they have a 300g reef display with everything in it and they keep one with no problems.
